Workshop #8 - Industrial (Canberra Milk)

The 1st room was very hard to move around in with such limited time this is all I got...

Chiaroscuro?

Using DOF as a means of somewhat creating foreground interest


I wish this was sharp - An idea I had for my folio

For our industrial workshop we headed out on location to Canberra Milk.
I have to admit my images are quite amateur, I had a very off day & am currently feeling a little lost as a photographer. I feel as though everyone is excelling around me & I just don't seem to get a lot of things. Fingers crossed I get past that feeling soon!

Besides that point, here are the results of the adventure. I enjoyed the excerise & appreciated Canberra Milk taking us in. Again thanks to Cameron for his organising of the workshop.
